Sasparilla oooyyyy-yaaaaaa *

#86 A-Z reading challenge - authors & #87 A-Z reading challenge - titles
Ruiz Zafon, Carlos "Shadow of the wind"
About a boy who finds a book written by a man who seems to have disappeared. The boy feels compelled to track down the author and find out what happened to him.
What did I think?
Simplistic plot explanation not matched by the writing. Excellent story and translation. Exciting and mysterious with a little bit of love and death thrown in. I love it when books turn out to be like those celtic knots where everything repeats and roils around. Great stuff. Recommended to others as this was recommended to me.
